Canon Japan has announced that an update to their Digital Photo Pro (DPP) software is planned for mid-April. This update will resolve the soft/blurred Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR RAW image problem.

Here is my translation of the Google Japanese-to-English translation of this announcement:

To customers using Digital Photo Professional version 3.11.10 with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR camera

April 5, 2012

We thank you very much for your patronage of Canon products.

It has been confirmed that the RAW development process used by Digital Photo Professional version 3.11.10 is not appropriate, generating somewhat blurred images. This is the version of DPP that is included on the CD in the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR box.

Thanks for the link. I am wanting to process images using the new Canon lens correction module. I have used it on some images, and it makes a huge difference. Unfortunately, I cannot save them without losing sharpness.

We have identified an issue that prevents users of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III from processing their RAW format images when using Digital Photo Professional Version 3.11.10, the RAW image development software that is bundled with the EOS 5D Mark III.

Answer :We will shortly release an update for the Digital Photo Professional Version 3.11.10 for users to download which will address this issue. The update will be released on the website in mid-April.

Just so people are aware. I have this problem with 450D too.Not unique to this version but with the older software too.

the images were just as blurry and it was caused by luminance noise reduction defaulting to 2 (moving it to 0 takes away the blur)

its the same with 5d iii except the luminance control wont adjust the image unless you set it to 0 then swap to high speed. then you can swap back n forth at will and the luminance control will stay at 0
